What most plumbers won’t tell you about your blocked drain:
It’s Not Just a Blockage - It’s a Symptom
Most blockages are caused by deeper issues like tree roots, pipe misalignment or grease buildup. Clearing the drain without inspecting the cause is just a band-aid.
Chemicals can wreck your pipes
Off-the-shelf drain cleaners don’t just dissolve blockages, they corrode older pipes and can create bigger plumbing disasters.
That $20 plunger might be making it worse
Repeated plunging can force blockages deeper, rupture seals, or create weak spots in your plumbing system.
Recurring blockages usually mean hidden damage
If your drains keep slowing down, there’s likely a structural issue underground that needs proper inspection, not another “quick blast.”
You don’t need to rip up the whole yard
With the right gear (like CCTV drain cameras), we can pinpoint and fix problems without unnecessary digging or damage.
You’ve done everything you can think of.
You’ve plunged it and tried the supermarket chemicals.
Maybe it worked for a day. But now the sink’s gurgling again. The shower fills up like a tub and that nasty smell is back.
Suddenly you're avoiding the bathroom because it’s just too gross.
You’re stressing every time someone uses the toilet.
You're imagining the worst - like water flooding through the house while you're at work.
You don’t want to spend a fortune. You just want it fixed properly.
Not “sort of fixed”. Not “back in a week”.
Fixed the right way, by someone who actually knows what they’re doing and won’t leave a mess behind.
Because the longer it drags on, the more anxious you get.
And if it bursts... how much is this going to cost?

Jason at McPherson plumbing has been fantastic to deal with. He helped us design a custom outdoor shower. Jason was prompt to reply and the work carried out was above our expectation. When we had a small issue after installation Jason responded really quickly and fixed the issue without question (on a Sunday!). 5 stars!

Quick to respond to my emergency callout on a Saturday for a leaking pipe in the shower wall. Jason professionally fixed the problem straight away. Very well priced for a weekend callout. Would definitely recommend McPherson Plumbing and will be using Jason in the future.
